I just tried to build on my failures.

I don't like definitions. I like four-hour movies.

I can't say I really see much difference between my son and daughters except that my girls will occasionally make me a sandwich and my son won't.

I had a difficult time hearing my own inner voice about what I wanted to be in this life, because there were all these perfect examples of what a man actually does. The notion is that he goes to college, gets married and provides. That's what a man does.

Cowboy movies aren't supposed to be in vogue. I still like them. You know, I'm still out there pitching the hell out of them.

I think religion is a funny thing because, when you see somebody who can really break it down, sometimes it feels foolish what you believe.

I'm proud of all the movies I've made. They're not sequels, they're not franchises. And the reason I pick my films carefully is that I don't want to spit on my life. I like to think of myself as more than that.
